Today you'll start with my 80's-inspired routine which will focus on cardio/aerobics and legs, so grab your leg warmers and let's get physical! Then you'll work with the stretches in my middle splits routine. Don't worry—you don't need to do the middle splits. These are just stretches that will help improve your flexibility for middle splits. If you don't have a home pole reach out and I'll provide a different workout for you.
Pro tip: You might be wondering why you're doing strength work in a flexibility program! Strength training does wonders for improving the stability of joints by strengthening the surrounding muscles, ligaments, and tendons. This is even more important if you're someone who is hypermobile, has EDS, or other joint-related issues. Also, strength training when done within your full range of motion (ROM) helps improve flexibility. Last, if your muscles are weak, this can restrict your ROM by not allowing your body to go through its full movement patterns.
